Seabird 1st Edition by Holling 1948 scarce

Seabird by Holling Clancy Holling, illustrated by Holling C. Holling, Houghton Mifflin Company, 1948 first edition. Seabird is an ivory gull carved by a young hand on a whaling vessel. Through Seabird's eyes you go on amazing adventures which include harpooning of whales, going to the Orient, and more when he passes on to four more generations. The book is in very good condition with rubbings on the edges & the previous owner's name written on title page (priced accordingly). The outside dust jacket has much wear and tears but is now protected by a mylar wrap.The many full page color illustrations make this book worth every penny! This book will only go up in value. Note I have two other books by Holling elsewhere in my shop. Search "Holling"
